The XA series take a little longer perhaps 150 hours total. I've not noticed much change after that. Do n... | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu >>With 10 hours/day, it should take 10-15 days at most<<With many speakers I would tend to agree with you. In my experience it matters as much, if not more, with how loud the Zu speakers are driven as it does with the number of hours; ... | |
